City of Kelowna snow clearing crews continue to clean up from Monday’s early winter storm.
The city issued an update today, saying crews are working around the clock, clearing, sanding and de-icing Kelowna’s roadways, and responding to challenging winter conditions.
“After two decent snowfalls, our roads are in rough shape but all available crews and resources are making their way through priority zones across the city,” roadways operations manager Andrew Schwerdtfeger said. “Crews have been out constantly since last week and they’ll be out until the snow and ice we’re dealing with is cleaned up.”
City crews continued clearing priority one arterial roads and priority two connector roads with steep hills, sharp curves, school zones, emergency vehicle stations and transit routes overnight. They have applied 50,000 litres of calcium chloride de-icing liquid in recent days and 1,200 tons of sand in the last 24 hours.
